The trajectory tracking task of a magnetic levitation system connected to a beam mechanism is solved by means of a nested saturation control with a feedforward term. The flatness property of the system allows to use the nested saturation control technique and the feedforward control to stabilize the output tracking error around the equilibrium. The closed-loop error dynamics is proven to be locally exponentially stable. Numerical simulations prove the effectiveness of the proposal.

Magnetic Levitation System

Maglev transportation system is become a hot topic for researchers because of the distinctive advantages, such as frictionless motion, low power consumption, less noise, and being environmentally friendly. The maglev transportation system’s performance gets sufficiently influenced by the control method and the magnetic levitation system’s dynamic performance, which is a critical component of the maglev transportation system. The Magnetic Levitation System (MLS) is a group of unstable, nonlinear, uncertain, and electromagnetically coupled practical application. Control objective of this study is to design a position stabilizing control strategy for Magnetic Levitation system under extreme uncertain parametric conditions using a reference model governed by a reference stabilizer and nonlinear adaptive control structure. After successful tuning the reference stabilizer with and without time-varying payload disturbance, the tracking-error dynamics are obtained in the presence of both matched and mismatched types of parametric uncertainties. Next, the close-loop stability theorem is formulated for Lyapunov stability analysis to get the design constraints, parameter update laws, and adaptive control law. Numerical simulations performed for a high range of parametric violations check the control design’s efficacy. The performance robustness gets confirmed by comparing the results with the nonlinear control approach. The MLS gets performance recovery and settles within safe limits in few seconds using the proposed methodology. However, the nonlinear controller faces permanent failure in stabilizing the MLS.

This paper presents a method of utilizing a non-contact position sensor for the tilting and movement control of a rotor in a rotary magnetic levitation motor system. This system has been studied with the aim of having a relatively simple and highly clean alternative application compared to the spin coater used in the photoresist coating process in the semiconductor wafer process. To eliminate system wear and dust problems, a shaft-and-bearing-free magnetic levitation motor system was designed and a minimal non-contact position sensor was placed. An algorithm capable of preventing derailment and precise movement control by applying only control without additional mechanical devices to this magnetic levitation system was proposed. The proposed algorithm was verified through simulations and experiments, and the validity of the algorithm was verified by deriving a precision control result suitable for the movement control command in units of 0.1 mm at 50 rpm rotation drive.

And Performance

In this article, we designed and implemented neural controllers to control a nonlinear and unstable magnetic levitation system composed of an electromagnet and a magnetic disk. The objective was to evaluate the implementation and performance of neural control algorithms in a low-cost hardware. In a first phase, we designed two classical controllers with the objective to provide the training data for the neural controllers. After, we identified several neural models of the levitation system using Nonlinear AutoRegressive eXogenous (NARX)-type neural networks that were used to emulate the forward dynamics of the system. Finally, we designed and implemented three neural control structures: the inverse controller, the internal model controller, and the model reference controller for the control of the levitation system. The neural controllers were tested on a low-cost Arduino control platform through MATLAB/Simulink. The experimental results proved the good performance of the neural controllers.
